What do you guys deem a longshot?

[pmayjr]

At what odds, in your guys' mind, is a horse a longshot?

I heard at the track the other night- "I just hit a nice 9/2 longshot"

I didn't say anything, but I was like "please..."

For me, a longshot would probably be 10-1.

I know there's different circumstances, like depending on the size of the field. If it's a big field, the odds will be stretched. But if it's a 5-horse Cali field, maybe a shorter price could be consdiered that. Another circumstance might be an overwhelming favorite taking all the odds (like Barbaro in the Preakness).

But it seemed like that guy thought that if your horse wasn't the favorite, he was a longshot... so I'm wondering what you guys deem a "longshot"?
